TREvL1AN's, VA, September 6, 1887.
Horse thieves have invaded Madison
and Culpeper counties above here, and
so bold have they grown that the citi-
zens have been compelled to organize
in bands for their pursuit. The rascals
are generally chased into Washington,
but there lost sight of. This nuisance
has continued since early last spring,
and'spread from the upper counties.
Our neighborhood has been greatly
annoyed of late by petty thefts. Whole
hen-roosts are emptied and the pig-pen
depopulated. Sheep are shot while in
the pasture and carried Off Hot lead
seems TO be the only remedy. A gen.
tleman living at Bird Mill, this county,
some time since wounded one thief in
tie leg with a rifle bullet, and tore
away the collar of another.
The death OF Miss Rogers, noted in
Your issue of Sunday, seems doubly
sad on learning the particulars. She
was at work in the house with her back
to the fire, when discovering her dress
in blaze she became frantic and
rushed out of the house to her father in
the field several hundred yards distant.
She was a mass of flames when she
reached him and died in few hours.
She was q beautiful and popular young
lady. Mr.. Rogers is native and still a
citizen OF France. He was. Paris
bank cashier before coming to the
United States. He left his native land
shortly after the Franco-Prussiau war,
in which he took an active part. and
settled first in Michigan. TwIa.
